6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Opening Macon’s Public Schools and the Pupils in Attendance The State Fair Booming —No Rain at Georgetown in Seven Weeks - Put nam Superior Court in Session. GEORGIA. John Twatt, a merchant of Thomasville, died Tuesday. Col. W. J. Ray. a well-known lawyer of Monroe, died a day or two ago. Athens is just getting ready to boom the coining fair of Northeast Georgia. A. L. Lucas, of Los Angelas, Cal., has just paid Thomas Butler, of Hamburg, $ 150 for a pair of hounds. It will cost >6O to ship them to Los Angelos. There arc 98(7,000 Baptists in Georgia—as many os all other denominations together. A church is at liberty any time to withdraw its membership from one association and join another. William Gresham, of Americas, who shot himself through the throat with a revolver Sunday morning, me resting easy yester day, and will doubtless recover from the injury inflicted. At Augusta some opjiosition is springing up to the Foster plan of levees. It is said that it would only make things worse, as the water would rush back into the city through the sewers. On Thursday four men met casually upnn a corner of one of the streets of Mflledge ville, whose aggregate ages footed up the sum 331 years. They were M. C. Butts, aged 00; Elam Sanford, of Hancock county, aged 86; A. I. Butts, aged 80, and Benjamin Siulford, aged 75. At Nashvillo, some unknown person en tered the storehouse of E. E. Youmans on Saturday night and took two lino suits of clothes and some other fancy articles. The burglar left his wooden crowbar on the counter, with which he forced an entrance at the front door. Putnam Superior Court convened Mon day, with Judge J. K. Hines, of Sanders vifie, on the bench. Judge Jenkins, being disqualified in several cases, is holding Judge Mine’s court at Sandersville this week. There is little work to do, and not a prisoner in the county jail. Alfred Ellis, who, after farming in Texas for thirty years, returned to Georgia a year or two ago, is farming on Capt. T. H. Bake’s place, near Camilla. He says Texas has the soil, but no climate, while Mitchell county has lioth climate and soil. “This is a better country than Texas,” is what he says to all his friends. A man named Hackney was killed at Seney, Polk county, Sunday. He started a row at a boarding house, and the Marshal of Seney was called in. Hackney resisted arrest, and a scuffle ensued. The Marshal shot him twice, once in the mouth and once in the breast. Hackney lived only a few minutes after he was shot. In a certain locality in Americus reside six married couples, all living within a stone’s throw of each other, out of which number only one couple have ever been blessed with children and this with but a single one. Considering the fact that every couple have been married for a period cov ering from ten to thirty years, the coinci dence is rather a remarkable one. At Georgetown no ram has fallon within the past si en weeks, yet light showers fell in several localities in th . county last Fiday night—enoi.gti.pre bably to lay the dust ef fectually. The lu-c cotton, 'peas and late potatoes ore “gone up." Sugar-cane would be improved by ram, as it would grow rap idly with good rains until cut off by a freeze. The farmers are now doubtful of realiziug two-thirds of a cotton crop. Many farmers entitled to credit for their judg ment are of the opinion that not more than five-eighths will be realized. The Rehoboth Association convened at Reynolds Sept. Id last, L. O. Niles, of Marshallvilie, Moderator, and A. J. Cheeves, of Montezuma, Secretary. The re[K)rts from the various churches of the association were highly satisfactory and showed a marked improvement on previous years. The attending delegates were not so many as in the past. The Sunday school work will tie made a special feature at the next meeting, and a committee was np jiointed to select several speakers for this weak. There were many visitors from the neighboring towns and surrounding .country, and all were kindly caret! for. The association will meet next year at Thomaston. A question of some importance came up in the City Court at Macon, Tuesday, in which every morchaut in Macon is inter ested. The case was Rodgers, Worsham <Sc Cos. vs. Washington Hodge. The Arm suihl Hodge, who is a farmer in the Warrior dis trict, for >lB7 “5 with attorney’s fees anti interest. Hodge's defence is that the firm has not complied with the law in section 158 b of the Code, which requires that all weights and nn asures shall lie stamped or marked, and that debts of such merchants not having their weights and measurt* so marked or stamped cannot lx- col Us-ted. The case went to the jury, but they hung on it, and up to a late hour had not agreed. It is claimed that while there is such a law, it is considered obsolete, and this is the first in stance in many long years that it has been raised. The State Fair is still booming. Tho people of Macon are helping it to boom. Down nt the lwrk matters are taking on new shape. The grand stand, rnachinerv hall, agricultural and floral halls, as well ns other buildings, have been repaired, painted and whitewashed until' they are won drously lieautiful. The track will soon lie ready for the fleet-footed racers, and when completed, it will be the finest mile track in the South. The levee has been finished and the fencing •e-ilt, and Parkkecjier Fennel is busy mowing the grass, cleaning off the leaves and trimming up tho magnificent trees. The old, dilapidated, half-rotten stalls will be rebuilt, and every comfort auil convenience possible will be arranged for the exhibitors and visitors. By the time the gates are thrown open there will lie a spectacle such as the fair-goers never wit nessed before. The agricultural display in itself will be worth a whole fair of the or dinary sort. Comptroller General Wright a few days ago submitted the legal opinion prepared by Hon. N. J. Hammond, of Atlanta, as to tho effect the Felton wine room bill would have U}mui the business of those dealers who are operating under u twelve months license ob tained by the jiaymeiit of the special S6O liquor tax to the state, to Attorney General Anderson. Comptroller Wright concurred in the main in the opinion written by Mr. Hammotid, hut the law makes the Attorney General his legal advisor, mid the opinion and the circumstances connected with the matter were forwarded Attorney General Anderson at Macon. Tuesday ,Htor nev General Anderson reached Atlanta for the purpose of sitting with the Governor in the convict lease investi gafion, but found time during the day to officially communicate his opinion to Comp troller Wright. He says: "I have exam ined the opinion of Col. N. J. Hammond, given to Mr. Lynch, and which you sent me for examination. I agree with him in the opinion that the law, recently paassd by the Ls-gisluture n:id known as the ‘Felton wine bill* does not affect existing licenses legally granted.'’ This settle* the matter, and allows all wine room men with legal licenses to oiiei Hle under them until their time for exotraiion arrives.

This shows an increase of twenty-one pupils on the part of the colored schools, or a net Increase of at tendance, takingail the schools, of twonty i five students. The seating capacity of the schools has been severely taxed, and num l‘i> have been turned away for lack of ac commodations. There are now about 1,750 students, all told, in attendance, and it is the opinion of some of the officials that the attendance might tie increased to 3,000 were there Another school house built in some part of the city most accessible. Macon Telegraph: The story from Can ton and the article from the Atlanta Journal in reference to the recent discovery by Tom Woolf oik’s lawyer of a negro in Canton who claims connection with the wholesale murder of the Woolfolk family, was read yesterday by Mr. Burnett, who, w ith Mr. Ram Chambliss, was the first man to enter the house in which the crime had been com mitted. Mr. Burnett has been living in the Hazzard district for twenty years, and was a close neighbor of the late Capt. Woolfolk. He knows every man, woman and child, whether white or black, in the entire dis trict, and not w'ithin his recollection of that twenty years was there ever a negro named Jack Debase at work thereabouts. It is true that strange negroes go to work out there, but if they remain any length of time their names are known, because the several gangs of hands are few in number and easily ac counted for. The story says Jack was sent to the chain-gang for stealing an ax from Capt. Woolfolk, and escaped several days he fore the night of the kdliug. Such an event in so neighborly a settlement would have been known to Mr. Burnett and other neighbors, but there was no ax stolen. There was, however, a negro named George Cald well who stole an ox from Capt. Woolfolk, and he was sent to the chain-gang. It is true that George escaped from the gang, but as he escaped oil Sunday afternoon and stole Rev. L, B. Payne’s horse and buggy and went on to Forsyth, where he was cap tured Monday, it is safe to say that Gorge could not be found guilty of the murder, especially as it was committed two nights before he escaped from the gang; and he could not be in Canton sailing under the name of Jack Dehose, as ho is still on the gang. The story says Jack mentions three other negroes who were implicated in the killing. Mr. Burnett says the floor of the room was covered with pools of blood, and no one could have walked into the room without leaving bloody tracks on the floor. He saw only one track, and that was made by a foot encased in a sock. Now as to the robbery. Mr. Burnett says there was nothing in the way of valuables disturbed, and nothing was missing from the house. Other wit nesses say that money was found in young Richard Woolfolk’s pockets. The story further says that Woolfolk’s at torney remained in the neighborhood some time as a tramp painter, and learned that the deed was committed by a negro while three other negroes robbed the house. There was a tramp painter in the settlement, and Mr. Burnett savs his brother-in-law is some what inclined to the belief that there was some resemblance between the painter and Mr. Walker, but when here Mr. Walker denied that he had used any such disguise, or that lie had ever gone out there, except when with Coroner Hodnett, and as the Coroner never left his side during the entire trip, he heard every word exchanged between the attorney and every person to whom he talked. There was nothing in these conversations to intimate that the crime was committed by negroes. Mr. Burnett laughs at the story through out, and regards it as a piece of fiction, ex cept that there may be some poor negro in the Canton jail. FLORIDA. Dominick Leckleitner of Palatka, has been granted a pension for services in the navy. It is lielieved that Clay county went dry in Tuesday’s election on the prohibition question. The abstract office at Orlando is now go ing over the old wills and arranging them for the first time in abstract form. Some rare specimens are found, being real literary curiosities. Most of them have a clause for bidding the widow to marry again. Lakeland is to have n first-class graded academy. The academy building is being l.uilt, and will lx- ready for occupancy early in October. The Principal of the school will lie Prof. A. M. Baker, of Kentucky, a graduate of the Indiana State Normal School. The official returns from Tuesday's elec tion in Alachua county show the following majorities for the dry ticket: Hawthorne 81, Island Grove 50, Micanopy 49, Windsor 100, Waldo 3. Archer 64, Newnansville 130, Fairbanks IS*. For the wet ticket: Gaines ville 85, Arredondo 55. Dry majority 345, with several precincts yet to hear from. The county is snfoly dry. Joseph N. Haddock, who has been in the employ of the United Stutes Treasury de partment ns Coast Inspector of Customs, with headquarters at Cedar Keys, received a communication from the department di recting him, until otherwise ordered, to assume charge of the Ninth Special Agency district, which embraces the customs collec tion of the State of Florida, except the dis trict of Pensacola, with his official station nt Jacksonville. The schooners City of Jacksonville and Lois V. Chaples, bound from Jacksonville to Baltimore, were cmight in a gale off the Ca]ie of Hie Chesapeake last Friday and had considerable damage done to their rigging. The City of Jacksonville lost only her miz zen mast, and os soon as this can be replaced, and she has been recaulked, she will be loaded for her trip South, The Lois V. Chaples was not so fortunate. Sue had her flying Jib, jib topsail and foretop sail carried awuy. Both schoouers left Jacksonville within an hour of each other and arrived in Baltimore together. There is a tiew and very important indus try started in Orlando that few people aro as yet aware of, that being the manufacture of a most perfect ventilated building block. The blocks an* made of l'ortland cement aiul sand mixed in proportion suitable to make a hard and durable artificial stone. They are made hollow and ten inches thick, ten Inches wide and thirty inches long, with grooves on the bottom and corresponding tongues on the top, so that every block will tit down ami match, together like the tongues and grooves of flooring, thus doing away with any mortar or cement to hold them. The ends of each block lit together with something like a dove tail.

This organization held a meeting Monday evening, which was not entirely harmonious, and a slight scrimmage among some individual members brought all con cerned before the Mayor Tuesday morning Many of the members appeared to think that, being un incorporated body, they could prevent any outsiders from coming to town and undercutting them in prices, etc. Boino of the steamer lines have secured a large body of men to come on at short notice from Jacksonville and elsewhere, and that the demand for higher rates will not be paid. The rates paid by most of the shippers are >1 50 per day and S3 for night work. The demand is for 35c. to 50c. advance. Most of the men in the largest, association, which numbers about 100, are idle. There seems to be a deter mination to resist the dernauded increase, and it is believed that new men can be im portcil as rapidly as needed if the present laborers pei’sist in their demands. So far there has lieon no demonstration on the part of the strikers beyond a gathering in groups and quiet talk among themselves. LOS AQUAS AZULE. The Greatest Natural Curiosity in the Land of Flowers. Ocala, Fla., Sept. 30. In the Western portion of Marion County, heretofore hid away amongst the rolling hills, because of their distance from the highways of travel, are the beautiful springs of the Blue rivef. Florida does not number among her natural curiosities anything more beautiful or won derful. The recent opening of the Silver Spring, Ocala and Gulf Railroad of this portion of Florida has uncovered to the tourist, the invalid, the investor, these beautiful foun tains of youth. If old Ponce de Leon had found them in his tramp through Florida, lie would have gone no farther, as all the surroundings would have filled his fancy with the idea that his mission had been ac complished. Distant twenty miles from Ocala, these transparent springs burst out at the foot of the hills that skirt the “Wekiva” or Blue River. They vary in size from a few feet to almost an acre in extent. They extend for nearly six miles along the banks, or burst forth in the bed of “Los Aquas Azule” exciting the wonder and peculiar emotions of pleasure in all who behold them. The waters preserve the entire year, alike in winter and summer, an even tem perature of 73°, and offer an almost resist less temptation at all seasons to the bather, to plunge into and examine for one’s self whether they be the fabulous foun tain of youth. Remarkable as it may seem, there is an abundance of both fresh and salt water fisn in the springs. Here swimming in schools, are the mullet of the Mexican gulf mingling with the bream or perch of the fresh water. Accompanying these you will see the beautiful striped shoejisiiead of the salt water, foraging the haunts of the voracious fresh water trout or bass. Nor are these denizens of the ocean mere sporads, for they are found in “Los Aquas Azule” at all seasons of the year. Standing on the high hills overlooking the “head,” as the source of the Blue river is called, the angle of light and vision give to these transparent waters that peculiar tint called by the modiste peacock blue. The w'ater of these springs is so clear that a bright nickel or a gold double eagle can bo clearly seen on the white sandy bot tom, which varies from five to sixty feet be low the surface. A marked difference between the Blue Springs and the famous Silver Spring is in their respective surroundings. The Silver Spring, so long known and visited by tour ists, bursts out in the midst of an oozy swamp, the approach to which is made ground, ftllea in by the railroad com pany. The banks of the Blue Spring are high and rolling, reaching, in some places, over 100 feet in height. At the “head” of Blue Spring nature beautifully divides the land into high hummock and rolling piue. There is a natural park, which will be as pretty a picnic ground as there is in the Alligator State. The extension of trans portation facilities each year opens new at tractions to the tourist aud the settler, hut none will he more appreciated by them the coming season than the beautiful Springs of “Los Aquas Azule.” Bert. THE BANANA TRADE. It Lasts All the Year Round—lnterest ing Particulars. From the New York Mail. “Two million bunches of bananas come into this port alone, every year now,” said the Importer. “Previous to 1884 there were not near so many'. .Schooners wore employed, and they took six weeks to make a trip, car ried only 2,500 bunches and lost a quarter of them on the account of the length of time afloat and the damage by salt water. Now we have regular lines of steamers that carry four or five times as much fruit, and make such quick trips that there is practi cally no loss of fruit.’’ “Where do the bananas come from i" “Well, the mis, which appear to be the favorites, come from Baracoa, Cuba. We get from 80,000 to 40,000 bunches of them a week during August, but less now that peaches are in market. The yellow ones come from Jamaica, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. There are some bananas produced in Florida, but the home demand prevents tiny coming here. It will not be long before the red bananas will be very source, an the Culian planters are replacing them with the yellow slips frotn Jamaica. The cause of this is that the yellow produce bunches averaging from $2 to $2 20, while tho red will not average more than $1 50 u bunch.” “How do bananas growl” “On immense plantations, laid off into rows of trees about eight feet apart each way. The trunk of the banana tree is com posed of the stems of leaves and grows from fifteen to twenty-feot high. When the fruiting liegins, o bud appears at the top of the stem and develops into a bunch of bananas. When the fruit is gathered tho tree is cut down and left to decay, and new sprouts start up from the same root, and thus the crop is continually renewed. 'There are atiout 700 trees to the acre, and each produces one bunch of fruit. Now planta tions are started by setting out young sprouts about two feet high. The loading is usually done by forming a line and pass ing the bunches worn hand to hand. This is not very pleasant work, as the buneht*s often conlam scorpions, tarantulas, cpnti- IH’des, and other venomous insects that, get shaken out of the bunches us they are passed and bite or sting the handler. In the hold of the vessel tho bananas are placed in bins hol.iiug several hundred bunches each, and arranged to admit all tho air possible. In winter much care is necessary lo prevent the cargo from freezing on the voyage, or while unloading. Bananas are almost the only fruit that is always in season. They arrive nt this port every month in the year. Dur ing the poorest months in midwinter we re ceive 70,000 bunches, and in summer the number frequently reaches 860,000 bunches.” ‘Buchu-Paiba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases. sl.

The French artist whose picture in the last salon showed the eccentricity of pre senting a cavalier of the time of Louis XIV 7 ., armed with a modern revolver, was not alone in his anachronism. Some of the early painters were amusingly careless about such matters. Tintoretto, in a pic ture of the children of Israel gathering manna, represents them as having taken the precaution of arming themselves with shotguns. When Cigoli painted the aged Simeon at the circumcision of the infant Saviour, which picture is now in St. Petersburg, he remembered that aged men wear spectacles, and so placed these conveniences upon Simeon’s nose. In a picture by Verrio of Christ healing the sick the bystanders are represented with periwigs. This ludicrous ettoct is equaled in Albert Durer's picture of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden by an angel wearing a flounced petticoat. The same artist, in his scene of Peter denying Christ, depicts a Roman soldier quietly enjoying a pipe of tobacco. Of all the artists who have sinned against propriety or probability the Dutch and Flemish have been among the most eccen tric. In the Museum of Vienna there, is a picture of “Christ Bearing the Cross,-” by Peter Brueghel, the elder, which shows Christ carrying his burden, while a monk, crucifix in hand, exhorts the two thieves to die repentant. David Teniers, the younger, in Ills “Denial of St. Peter,” in the Louvre gallery, represents Peter as a Flemish guardsman. The soldiers are playing cards at a table, and the whole scene is thor oughly Flemiijh. A Dutch painter in a picture of the wise men worshipping the Holy Child, has shown one of them wearing a large white surplice and boots and spurs, and in the act of presenting to the child a model of a Dutch man-of-war. Another Dutch artist in representing Abra ham offering up his son, departs from the Scriptural account of the patriarch’s “stretching forth his hand and taking the knife,” and shows him as about to shoot Isaac with a blunderbuss. Jean Belin, in one of his pictures, represents the Virgin and Child listening to a performer upon the violin, and in another ho has drawn King David playing upon the iiarp at the marriage of Christ with St. Catharine. Nicholas Poussin has represent ed the Deluge with boats at hand ready for use, and on",another canvas “Rebecca at the Well” is seen with Grecian architecture in the background. And inapicture repre senting “Lobsters in the Sea, Listening to the Preaching of St. Anthony of Padua,” the lobsters are red, nlthough as yet, it is fair to presume, unboiled. A French artist has depicted the Lord’s Supper, the table being ornamented with tumblers filled with cigar lighters, and the Virgin Mary, in another work of the same nationality, is helping herself to a cup of coffee from a chased coffee pot. But drollest of all blun ders is that which portrays the Garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve in all their primeval simplicity, while near them, in full costume, is seen a hunter with a gun, shooting ducks. The time for these absurdities on canvas has passed away. Nowadays the painter is severely achaeological, and the exceptions to the rule of accuracy in such matters are in frequent. The Little Boy’s Papa Couldn’t Leave Him After Hie Mother Died. From the Ch icago Tribune. One day when we were between the North Platte river and the Laramie Mountains and some miles west of Fort Fetterman, Wy while I was riding along the dry bed of a little creek looking for water, I saw a stockman coming across the ridge a quarter of a mile away. The pony on wnich he was mounted came along on a swinging gallop, and as he drew nearer I saw the man had a little child, a boy not much over 8 years old, in front of him on the saddle. He came up and stopped, anil we engaged in some com monplace conversation about the distance to various ranches, our destination, etc. The boy in the meantime had turned around and got up on his feet in the saddle and put one ami around the mail’s neck and looked at me shyly, as if he was not much accus tomed to seeing strangers. The man was’ tall, perhaps more kindly-looking than handsome, and might have lieen 30 years of age. I suggested that the boy appeared to be fond of riding for snch a little one, when the man said: “Yes, Tot —I always call him Tot—is a great rider. He can ride fifty miles a day, if I carry him in my arms part o’the time,” and he looked at the baby proudly, with just a touch of sadness, as he &ave him a little lmg. “Doesn’t ho get tired?” “Yes, a little when we go so fur, but he can stand thirty-five or forty mile an be jes’ as chipper as you please when we git back to the ranch. “Does he go out on the range with you every day?” "Every day I do. You see there ain’t nobody to leave him with at the ranch —Tot an’ me lives all alone. I got a little ranch o’ my own down here, with a couple o’ hun dred head o’ stock up’u’ down the creek, an’ when I go out to look after .them or any thing I have to tako him along. When I fust begun to take him with me, ’bout a year ago, I thought ho woudn't stand it, but I was careful not to go fur—not inore’n fifteen or twenty or niebby twenty-five mile in a day—an’ would you believe it, he jes’ got fat on it. Mobby you’ll think, stranger. I orter get him a better home somewhere, but I tried it an’ it didn’t work. You’ll excuse me, I reckon, if I talk a lout it. 1 don’t see anybody very of’n, an’ sometimes it kinder makes me feel better to talk a little. You soe, we were livin’ down where I do now, tryin’ to got a start an’ make a kind of a home, an’ a year ago Tot's mother died. Well, she was sick quite a while, and I took care o’ her the best I could. I reckon she didn’t have as good care as sho should a’ had, but I done jes’ the host I knowed how Had the post surgeon come out as often ns he would, an b’n’by lie said she’d got to die. Ail’ she did die, stranger. It was perttv dark for me, an’ I’d a’ gone away, ff I kand’t done nothin’ wus, if it hadn’t been for Tot. When I thought ’bout him I felt ’mast as I did when I thought ’liout his mother, hut I had to do eometliing fer him. i had some friends nt the Fort, an’ they offered to give him a home, so 1 took him down to them. I told him good-by 1 , an’ they ki p’ him in a back room so he wouldn’t see me go away, an’ I went out an’ got on my hows an’ jabboa the spurs into him so’s to ride off fast; but I hadn’t went twenty yards when I heard Tot calling: ‘Papa, let Tot dow toil' an’ there he was out the door, air :i#ay from ’em an’ coinin' after me, thlnkin’ he could catch me with his little fat logs. I puffed up short hu’ went hack nn’ reached down an' took the little fellow up in my arms, an’ aval: ‘Tot, v>r ixqm won’t ivvor leave you ag in!'
